What is the color of sound ?

Question

Do you what is the color of sound?

Answer 1

Oh that hurts my mind thinking about things like that!

Like trying to imagine new colours or what 'nothing' looks like.

But in answer to your question, i think different sounds have different colours. The sound of the sea is grey. The sound of birds is orange. The sound of laughter is yellow!

Answer 2

Hi,

Your creator did not design you to see the color of sound by your human eye.

Some creatures are designed to see it.

If you want to see it you need a filter (special eye tools and you can fined it at nassa)

Some creatures can see the electro magnetic waves like Homing pigeon. They use like the GPS to return there homes.

May be homing pigeons the earth magnetic field in a metallic gray color?

From: Wikipedia

Research has been performed with the intention of discovering how birds can find their way back from distant places they have never visited before. Most researchers believe that homing ability is based on a "map and compass" model, with the compass feature allowing birds to orient and the map feature allowing birds to determine their location relative to a goal site (home loft).[5] While the compass mechanism appears to be use of the sun, the map mechanism has been highly debated.[6] Some researchers believe that the map mechanism relies on the ability of birds to detect the Earth's magnetic field.

Answer 3

the color of an object is the name of the electromagnetic waves reflected by that object and seen by our eyes. however sound is a mecanical waves, and is energy and not material. sound propagates through matter, so it takes the color of the matter in which it propagates.

Answer 4

Rainbow coloured maaaaaan

Answer 5

no...

hav u seen sound ?? then how can u knw its color ?

:P

Answer 8

You can't see sound. Sorry, you've only been blessed with the ability to hear it.

Answer 9

Sound and light are 2 entirely different phenomena.  Sound is a longitudinal disturbance in a physical medium, such as air.  Light is a transverse disturbance in the electromagnetic field.

Just out of curiosity, you can look at the wavelengths of audible sound and see where they would fall on the EM spectrum (it wouldn't mean anything, physically...unless I'm overlooking something).  Anyway, we can hear frequencies between about 20 Hz and 20 kHz.  Given the speed of sound in air (342 m/s), this corresponds to a wavelength range of:

v = f·λ ──► λ = v / f = (342 m/s) / f

1.7 cm ≤ λ ≤ 17 m

Based on this EM spectrum:

this puts sound frequencies somewhere between the SLF (super low frequencies) and LF (low frequencies).  The tiny rainbow colored band between NIV and NUR is the entire visible spectrum.

All that said, sound, like light, has a lot to do with perception, which depends on the way the brain works.  As someone else commented, there is a condition known as Synesthesia, in which the perceptions of one sense organ are convolved with those of another.  People with super accurate perfect pitch often say that they perceive notes as very distinct color, so that hearing and identifying a C#, for instance, is as easy to them as looking at a crayon and identifying it as red.
